Confirmed from Kearny Riverbank Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering a spot for walking and a chance to see colorful fall foliage.
What runners say about Kearny Riverbank Park
“Nice and clean park for walking your dogs and great for family fun”
“Stunningly beautiful red leaves 🍁 we deserve to take some shots for loved ones here in the fall season”
I rated 5 starts due to a special moment I had with my dog,sitting at a bench admiring the river. If you'd like to take your dog for a long walk,that's not the place. It only has a narrow path to walk in and its kinda close to the road..but there's a dog park not too far away from there on the same road. (Passaic ave)
Nice little scenic spot. Quick spot to take photos or take your mind off things
